WILLIAM H. MORS,OF WATERFORD, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE WATER- FORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

SHIRT-8080M.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,967, dated May 16, 1882.

ApplicationfiledMay20, 1881. (Nomode1.) v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,,WILLTAM H. Mons, of

the village of Waterford, county of Sara-toga,

and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bosom -Shirts, of

which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to the art or method of making the bosoms of shirts with reference to the employment of a facing attached to the bosom and shirt at the bottom of the bosom,

and therefrom extended downwardly and attached to the shirt-front at a proper distance below the bosom to receive the usual tab for button-hole attachment.

in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, there is illustrated a shirt-bosom and part of a shirt-front containin g my invention, the,several parts composing it being designated by letter-reference and described as follows: i

The letter A indicates a shirt-bosom, which, at its sides S S, is attached to the shirt-frontB.

AtO there is shown afacing below the bosombottom and between the latter and the buttonhole tab T. a

The letter I) designates a line of stitching at the bottom of the bosom by which the latter and the downwardly-extended facing U are attached to each other and to the shirt-front,

and at a the facing at its lower end is attached to the shirtfront and also to the button-hole tab T.

While I have shown the facing stitched to the shirt-front at its sides from S to S' it may,

3 5 if desired, be made without this attachment, provided it is stitched tothe front where joined to the tab .1, the latter being detached from m to n.

It will be observed that the facing 0 is independent and folds or bends independently 4o of the shirt-bosom A, and .may be made of inferior and cheaper material.

A shirt-bosom thus made, when worn, keeps its place better than when continued down to I am also aware that a shirt-bosom has been patented with a bosom-back made in two pieces horizontally joined, and thelower piece being made of a lighter and more flexible material than the upper one, and the bosom stitched to the body with detached edge seams.

Having thus described my invention, what I I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

The combination, in a shirt, of the bosom A and independent facing G, the latter below the former and joined to the shirt-front and bosom at the bottom of the latter, and the lower end of the facing attached to the'shirt-front with button-hole tab at the bottom of the facing, as shown and described. 0

Signed at Waterford, New York, this 14th day of May, 1881.
